This hardy and compact azalea becomes entirey covered in tiny, single, cerise-pink flowers from spring to early summer, offering a long and vibrant floral display. Its dense, fresh green foliage turns bronze in winter, providing year-round interest.

Christmas Cheer is perfect for mixed borders, foundation plantings, or as a stunning low hedge.
